1. Prep. File your nails into an almond shape and push back your cuticles — DO NOT CUT THEM! — before applying a basecoat to each nail.

2. Paint on the white polish before the nude shade. Even though it looks like the nude polish is the base, Whitehill suggests painting a white opaque shade on first to eventually make framing your nail a lot easier. Nail model and Cosmopolitan.com's editor Amy Odell swiped on two coats of CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Snow Storm onto each of her nails.

3. Apply nude polish on the middle of the nail, leaving a white border. Using the nail brush that came with the nude bottle of polish, create a filled in "U" shape, keeping the white border along your cuticle and the sides of your nail free of nude polish. Amy used Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer in Beige Safari and applied two coats onto her nails and waited a few minutes before moving on to step four.

4. Add on a French tip and two half-moons. With a skinny striper brush, which allows you to create super thin lines and intricate nail art designs, and the white polish you used in step two, swipe the tip of your nail, connecting the white exposed border on the left to the exposed white border on the right. Next, at the base of your nail, draw a larger half-moon that reaches almost the middle of your nail, and then create another smaller half-moon inside so it looks a bit like a rainbow.

Finally, wait a few minutes for your artwork to set. Then seal your look with topcoat. You're done!
